Merge branch 'hch' (maccess patches from Christoph Hellwig)
Merge non-faulting memory access cleanups from Christoph Hellwig: "Andrew and I decided to drop the patches implementing your suggested rename of the probe_kernel_* and probe_user_* helpers from -mm as there were way to many conflicts. After -rc1 might be a good time for this as all the conflicts are resolved now" This also adds a type safety checking patch on top of the renaming series to make the subtle behavioral difference between 'get_user()' and 'get_kernel_nofault()' less potentially dangerous and surprising. * emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>: maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault maccess: rename probe_user_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_user_nofault maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault
